Official: Saudi Strikes on Sana’a Expose Regime’s Inability to Subjugate Yemen After 12 Years
Mohammed Al-Farah, a member of the Ansar Allah Political Bureau, has affirmed that the recent Saudi airstrikes on the capital Sana’a and civilian and service facilities reveal the nature of the objectives the aggression seeks to achieve—tightening the noose on the Yemeni people and targeting the elements of their life and livelihood—after its inability to subjugate Yemenis throughout twelve years of aggression and siege.
In a post on his personal account on the “X” platform on Tuesday, Al-Farah addressed the people of the capital Sana’a: “Peace and safety be upon you, beloved Sana’a.” He explained that Saudi aircraft did not target military objectives as much as they aimed to strike everything affecting the life and livelihood of the Yemeni citizen—targeting homes, household gas stations, markets, poultry farms, cutting off sources of income, and closing livelihood outlets for citizens.
He indicated that this approach reveals the nature of the Saudi enemy that Yemenis have known for twelve years. It continues to bet on subjugating Yemen by force, deluding itself that airstrikes, siege, and starvation can achieve what it failed to achieve on the battlefield and push the Yemeni people to abandon their freedom, sovereignty, and independence.
The Goal: Seizing National Decision-Making
He noted that the goal of this escalation transcends destroying facilities and property to attempting to seize national decision-making, forcing Yemenis to hand over their land and sovereignty, return to the American house of obedience, and become tools in the service of the Zionist project. He affirmed that these bets will not find a path to success.
Al-Farah explained that whenever the enemy fails to impose its will, it resorts to the equation of killing, starvation, and destroying the elements of life, thinking that doubling the suffering of citizens will push them to surrender and relinquish their rights and national constants. However, its calculations ignore the nature of the Yemeni people and their will that rejects submission and dependency.
Victory Is from God
He affirmed that victory is not decided by material force alone but is from God, and that the will of free peoples cannot be broken by bombardment or subjugated by starvation. He stressed that what the enemy seeks to wrest from Yemenis it will not obtain, even if the war continues for a hundred years, because relinquishing freedom, sovereignty, and independence is outside the calculations of the Yemeni people.
He noted the direct participation of a Muslim country in the aggression on Yemen, considering that the nature of the targeting and the orientations associated with it indicate that target selection and recommendations are linked to Zionist orientations, with American experts supervising the paths of aggression, while the Saudi regime undertakes financing and implementation.
He affirmed that this equation places the Saudi regime in the position of the tool that bears the cost of confrontation and pays its price, while the results are harvested for the benefit of the American and Zionist projects. He explained that the essence of the battle is an attempt to subjugate Yemen to external will, in exchange for Yemenis adhering to their right to independence and rejecting becoming subordinates or tools for implementing others’ projects.
Every Aggression Will Be Met with a Response
Al-Farah stated that the continuation of the aggression will not change Yemenis’ constants or push them to retreat from their national choices, sending a clear message that targeting civilian facilities and citizens’ livelihoods will not pass without a response, saying: “Every aggression will be met with a response.”
The Saudi aggression is unable to achieve military victory, resorting to targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure in an attempt to force the Yemeni people into submission.
The Saudi enemy has been waging an aggression against Yemen since March 2015, with repeated attacks on civilian marketplaces, residential neighborhoods, nomadic communities, farms and essential infrastructure.
